The Modern History of the Jews of Lithuania
How to watch
Summary
Why were so many Jewish people living in Lithuania in the 19th century, and why were their lives becoming more difficult at the time? What were the forces that led to emigration and to where? What happened to those who remained during both World War I and the Holocaust. How has the Lithuanian government and society tried to come to terms with this in the postwar period?
